Throw in to the mix a video of the SLS AMG Roadster strutting its stuff to great effect and you’d think we’d covered all the bases. But not quite. You haven’t had the chance to build your own SLS Roadster yet. But now you can.

We’ve tried quite hard, but whatever wheels, interior or paint job we give the SLS it still ends up looking like the best Roadster to come out of Mercedes in… well, a very long time.

The look is helped by the muted colour palette on offer (although we have no doubt that if your bank account is healthy enough Mercedes will give you one in sky blue pink with yellow dots), but it’s the fundamental balance of line that the Roadster possesses that appeals so much.

It really doesn’t matter whether you have the readies to stump up for the SLS Roadster or not, configuring it to suit your Summer plans is a great way to waste a boring bit of the day.

And even better, you get to stamp on the throttle and listen to 6.2 litres of bellowing V8.
